My poinsettia is colouring nicely. I cut this back to around 6 feet tall last year and it has doubled its size. It grows outdoors and requires no special care.

As long as it is frost free, these do really well outside. They are all over the island, and they all get really big.

I know of one in Hayward that must be a cultivar- its growing with compact dense foliage on maybe 4-5' of plant.
Not much color so far. Not common here like in soucal.

I saw my first outdoor one in Auckland, NZ. It was as tall as the house it was in front of, and covered in red. I put mine behind a small wooded area for protection from the wind.

The red colour is so pretty ...

Thanks - it has become more red since this was taken, and is also in flower.
